  • ExpressionEngine - Could it be that good? Posted Friday, November 6, 2009 Reneldy Senat 3 Comments

Hi Constant Contact,

How can we change the text fields on the second screen of the Join My List app? I’d like to add fields that are important to us and eliminate some of the others we don’t care about and therefore would prefer our subscribers not be asked.
